Wow. That's got to be the most blatant hypocrisy I've seen since the Gettysburg Address - that the very beginning of “Imperial Washington” is heralded as “returning government to the people.”

Yah. A very small number of people whom no one elected: A collectivist oligarchy who Know Better than You..

“Why should Russians have all the fun remaking a world?”

This is great! I've studied the New Deal for years and it's always exciting to see something like this.

Now that's got to be just about the most ironic acceptance speech I've ever seen.
